Bloomsbury Theatre,
Shout at Cancer in concert with Zara McFarlane
and Peter Edwards Trio
more information: https://www.shoutatcancer.org/tickets
Outspoken Jazz still Growing was created through a series of collaborations with spoken word artist Bruce Sherfield, jazz vocalist Zara McFarlane and the Peter Edwards Trio.
The evening features compositions from the From Silence into Song project from British director and composer Philip Clemo, The project combines the voices of the Laryngectomy Choir, whose members have had radiotherapy in combination with a laryngectomy, with a choir of trees that survived the catastrophic nuclear bombs detonated over Japan in 1945.
Telling the story of the destructive and healing power of radiation, From Silence into Song uses specialist microphones and highly sensitive sensors to capture the sounds of these Hibakujumoku, ‘Survivor Trees’, many of which are still alive today and continue to be a symbol of hope and overcoming adversity.
The choirs will be heard together in harmony, spreading their joint message of resilience and survival.
The performance will be followed at 8.45pm by a Q&A moderated by Prof. Evangelos Himonides, with the Laryngectomy Choir participants, Prof. Martin Birchall (UCL Laryngology) and Shout at Cancer founder and director, Dr. Thomas Moors.
